About Smile L.A. Downtown Modern Dentistry
Dr. Kourosh Yousefzadeh often manages Invisalign cases that overlap with more involved dental work, like crowns, from consult through retainer.
Smile L.A. Downtown Modern Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, clear aligners, and TMJ treatment. Invisalign comes up often in reviews, sometimes alongside more involved dental work like crowns, with Dr. Kourosh Yousefzadeh and Dr. Aylin credited for staying on top of the process from consultation through retainer. Reviews also point to in-house payment plans and insurance help as useful for patients without coverage, though a handful describe disputes over out-of-network billing. The office is described as modern, with recent imaging technology and short wait times for appointments.

This dental office is amazing and I highly recommend it! The entire staff is so kind and friendly. My dentist Dr. Duarte was AMAZING! She was so patient, gentle, and kind and did good work. My hygienist was great, very thorough and kind. I was scared to go to the dentist, however, this office has alleviated my fears for any future work needed. Thank you :)

I’ve been coming to SmileLA for a couple of years now and have had the best experience so far. Dr. K is amazing with my ortho treatment and Eileen has been fantastic with my cleanings. Both are very professional and courteous. The dental office is always sanitary and clean. The front desk staff are also always so professional and helpful as well. Thank you!

FANTASTIC Dentist office! I hadnt been to one in a long time and they made me feel very comfortable. Cavities filled was a BREEZE, so quick and painless! And then my hygienist, Eileen, did my deep clean and made a usually rough procedure, so easy and comfortable, she was awesome! This whole team is amazing from front desk, to drs, to billing.
